LIBERAL MP Danna Vale has raised the prospect of Australia becoming a Muslim nation, warning "we are aborting ourselves almost out of existence".

As five conservative Coalition women promoted a compromise amendment to keep the fate of abortion drug RU486 in politicians' hands, Mrs Vale said she had read that the Imam at Sydney's Lakemba mosque had predicted Australia would be Muslim in half a century.

"I didn't believe him at the time. But … when you actually look at the birthrate, when you look at the fact that we are … aborting ourselves almost out of existence by 100,000 a year — a guesstimate," Mrs Vale said.

"You multiply that by 50 years — that's 5 million potential Australians we won't have here."

Truly, the moronic hoard of MPs that sit in the Federal Houses of Parliament is the greatest blight on the hope that anything worthwhile might come of public politics in this country. I know of nothing more depressing than listening to the proceedings of Parliament. It is dominated by boors. Here is the slather from the mouth of but one of them.
